THIRD SECTION

At about o'clock the third section
of the cyclone pulled in, conveying the
Colorado delegation of the G.. A. r.,
enroute for the encampment at st.
Louis. 1t was composed of ten cars,
four day coaches and six pullman sleep
ers. The Leadville drum corps &C
cOmpanied them, and consisted of eight
snare drums, three flies, one cornet and
one base drum. They played several
pieces upon the platform, and made
themselves generally agreeable. Their
uniform consisted of a fine ZOuave
attire and they played very nicely.
A very large crowd was at the depot
to all the trains, and many were the
expressions of admiration made by our
Colorado friends. Surely, the old vet
Grams will enjoy very large time.

the pointed sensations of sand burrS
and such things. You no doubt i'm
agined you were reclining on tlowery
bed of ease; you gave the marshal
much trouble and anxiety; you were
obstinate and presumptiOus;you dream
ed Of torture untold and imagined that
snakes were your only companions; in
the last conclusion, Michael, you were
wrong; the marshal was with you. You
must pay for the indulgence of your
aesthetic tastes. The city treasury
will be replenished to the extent of
three dollars. and the eagle-eyed min
lions of the law must be compensated.
Ten dollars and seventy-fve cents,
Michael, and stand committed until

Patrick Quinn, yours is plain
DRINK with very few variations. You
were simply drunk and obstinate; you
wanted to sleep and didn't care cent
where you slept. In this age of modern
improvements and useful appliances,
Patrick, the quay rears its imposing
stateliness as a thing of beauty and a
Joy forever for such as you. You en-
jOyed the comforts and seclusion that
its solid walls guarantee, and as con-
sequence, must pay the fidler. Three
dollars and costs, Patrick, and stand
committed until paid. Jacobs, the
